good question, My father is also wanting to sign up for and online trding account he wants to invest about 50k so he wants something very secure, he won't be trading much his investment will be more long term oriented. He is old fashioned will probably invest in Wal-Mart etc......

I've heard good things about Ameritrade but, thats about all the help I can give you....

thanks, signing up for Ameritrade account now

So how is AMD, NVD, Kmart, World Com doing?

any of them capable of staying around long enough for a comeback?

I've been happy with Schwab, but you need a good chunk of money from something like a 401k rollover to avoid quarterly account fees ($55K needed). ETrade is much lower, $20K.

I use Waterhouse but their prices have been creeping up lately. Now 14.95 for market, 3.00 extra for limit. Was 12 and 15 when I first went with them and I think they are going up in August. Havent had any problems though so all in all not too bad.
